La Boqueria, Barcelona

Seafood for sale at Barcelona’s La Boqueria Market.
Having been to the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne plenty of times, I expected a similar market when we stepped into La Boqueria on our first morning in Barcelona.
Our pensione (hotel) was just around the corner from Las Ramblas and very close to the market. We wandered through the market which felt like it was at least two or three times larger than the “Queen Vic”. What was interesting though is the amount of fresh… everything here. In fact, there are even restaurants which will cook fresh food you’ve bought! Unfortunately the line was too long, so we missed out.
Definitely the highlight here was the fresh seafood, which puts Melbourne’s to shame, but there are plenty of other things to buy as well.

Beautiful sunny skies in Istanbul. Lovely 26c. Now ... to navigate the public transport system!

...but of course we ate and drank like the jerkwad Westerners we are.

Welcome to Abu Dhabi, where the streets are paved with sand and the observation of Ramadan means we will neither eat nor drink while here.
